Hi All, On 09/08/2011 04:23 PM, Ken Springer wrote:*My Big Concern* here is how are we being perceived by those who come here for help by the amount of time that has been spent on this thread today. I was one of the first responders last night. Never did I dream when I went to bed last night my inbox will be filled with a discussion like this today. People come here for help. People come here to help others. If this was the first day I came to this list, and I saw all of this and my problem being somewhat trivialized by all of this discussion, I would be out of here.My perception if I was a new user, is if a thread is long, it must be something important enough to generate that much discussion. But once I started reading the posts, and found that replies were here and there and spread all over the place, I'd get so frustrated trying to figure things out I'd just leave after awhile. And that would certainly not help the LO cause. :-)I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings, but quite honestly, I'm sure a newcomer here today would not be at all impressed with a list that has done a tremendous amount of good for LibreOffice and provided great help to many people in the past.I certainly agree with you here.Thanks Ken!
You're welcome, Don.
Another thing. Does anyone actually read those links at the bottom? I'm not asking this facetiously. I joined this List probably about 5 months ago and have left a fair number of posts. I never, ever, once, looked at anything at the bottom. I never even thought about looking at anything down there. I would assume that is true for most folks. I did look at the links tonight, but am too far behind to click on them right now.
The answer is probably not! :-)The funny thing is, as well as ironic, if you go to LO's netiquette site, there is a link to this page: http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html .
If you take the time to read the article, it specifically says *not* to put information at the bottom/sig area because no one will read it! LMAO!
